The Gig Ethernet does support ADC monitors. Only the Yikes! and Sawtooth do not. Since yours now turns out to be a single 400mhz and AGP and the power connector does not have the 28v pin, it has to be a Sawtooth motherboard mounted in a case labeled for a Gig Ethernet. Most likely someone pieced this Mac together from spare parts or the original case got damaged and was replaced. Here is the Gig Ethernet pinout from Apple.

Note pin 22. +28v

Yeah, I was going off the fact that this motherboard didn't have the power connector for the AGP slot. Now that I know that its the wrong motherboard, I see my error.

Though my question still remains:

Anyway, my question still remains. How can I bench test the PS from the other G4? I want to pull it and see if it fires up at all without risking anything in the machine.
